SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE
Bully’s 8th Annual Free Community Thanksgiving continues Wednesday, Nov. 23, 4-7 p.m. at Boys & Girls Club
The Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows and Bully’s Sports Bar & Grill prepare a Thanksgiving feast for the masses, Wednesday, Nov. 23 from 4 – 7 p.m. at the Donald W. Reynolds Facility on East Ninth Street in Reno. All members of the community are invited to eat, drink and be merry this Thanksgiving Eve while also taking home a free family photograph and obtaining a free flu shot, thanks to the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM).
“This event brings people in the community together, but it’s also an opportunity to give back to the community,” said Jo Sonner of Bully’s Bar & Grill. “This is truly what the holidays are all about and Bully’s is proud to be a part of it.”
Together, the Boys & Girls Club and Bully’s serve approximately 1,100 members of the community each Thanksgiving Eve. The community is able to feast over a hot turkey and all the fixings while enjoying the merriment of family and friends in a location famous for its helping hands that reach more than 10,000 children in northern Nevada each year.
Leading up to the Thanksgiving Eve event, all Bully’s locations in northern Nevada collect hats, gloves, and new socks to benefit those in need and, as in past years, the community’s contributions are presented during the Thanksgiving Eve dinner. In addition, the event serves as a kick-off to the Club’s annual Adopt-a-Family holiday program, which provides holiday gifts for those who may not get the full holiday experience due to uncertain economic circumstances. Registration to receive assistance also is available at the Nov. 23 event.
Along with free flu shots thanks to the UNSOM, the Club and Bully’s also help attendees make for a more memorable evening with a free photo booth. The photo booth makes for the perfect family snap shot and also features a letter-writing station to reach out to loved ones who are unable to share in the festivities.
